Although it was optimized to perform alongside kayaks from the same family, the Tarpon Carbon Paddle is an efficient, smooth-paddling partner for any recreational and touring kayak. Both the shaft and blades are fashioned from carbon, making it the lightest in this brand's collection. The blades are made with a proprietary, asymmetrical curve that delivers the desired angle and depth for flutter-free strokes. Between its lightweight construction and two-piece design, this paddle is ideal for travel.
